Posted by Cecilia under: Economy; Energy; Transportation .
When economic times get tough companies have to re-consider their market position. It can also be an opportunity to explore new methods and new technologies.
As everyone is aware from the high-profile bankruptcies of General Motors and Chrysler, auto manufacturers are especially under economic pressure.
The latter of these two failed companies hopes to re-invent themselves by combining forces with a relative newcomer to the auto industry, Tesla Motors.
German automaker Daimler acquired an equity stake of nearly 10% in Tesla Motors Inc. As a part of this strategic partnership, Tesla will share its knowledge of electric car design and manufacturing.
Sharing knowledge to accelerate technology developments is the path to future. Tesla and Daimler have come to grips with this reality and will try to survive by producing a more eco-friendly car of the future.
Here’s the press conference announcing the partnership between Tesla and Daimler:
